Three weeks before the lock down I put down deposit on a new conservatory, work to start beginning of May, now of course because of the Corona virus the company is shut down and possible start date unknown.
Question therefore is my deposit safe due to the possibility of this company going bust, I paid via my Bank debit card.
Thanks.

If they go bust you'll join the list of creditors. In those circumstances you may be able to get your bank to do a chargeback but I'm not sure if that would work.0

The deposit is as unsafe as it was when you paid it. Not much you can do now other than cross your fingers.0
